It is pretty hard to use the internet as:
insulation to make a light jacket or jeans into winter wear.
mullet wrapper
field expedient hat
notepad or distress sign
paper airplane
wick for a home made oil lamp
electrical insulation
paper mache for targets and toys
absorbent for oil spills
toilet paper (wad up and flatten several times to soften)
bandage (see above)
rolled for rods or around the limb for a splint

And after you have used it in any of these ways you still have fodder for a fire.

I have backed off my newspaper subscription. I only get it three days a week now. The local paper has local news, a nice weekly rundown on world news and the weeks TV schedule. And once I'm done reading it I can do all the other stuff.

IMHO no retreat is complete without a foot-high, or better, stack of newsprint on hand.
